Hi, thanks for your reply!
You are welcome!

Taking priority against prefer without binding.
This has to be it. Or at least some other config like it. As far as I can tell, the "same" binding is meant to be a substitution rule: if you want to make, say, "DjvU Sns" actually use "DejaVu Sans". It does not feel right to use it for the generic sans, sans-serif, and monospace families. I can send you the entire fonts directory that Arch has, if you want to check it out. Though it does not need to be done on this list.
Sure, it have not sense, I'll report it upstream in NixOS repository.
Okay. Please keep me posted.

Hi Prot, I just discover your user fontconfig config is not strong enough to replace some OS (NixOS) fontconfig defaults. I research the problem and have found this solution. For reference: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1867659#p1867659
In that link, the poster notes:
I don't quite understand the rules for binding myself, but it has
worked for me in troubleshooting priority of alias rules.
As I also don't understand the extent of this change, I need some more
information on what the problem is and what this "strong" binding
entails.
I hope you found the solution good enough to merge in your codebase.
I am happy to do this if it fixes some problem.Juanjo Presa <juanjop@gmail.com>By the way, maybe "strong" is a lot. I try with binding="same" and also works. I could also change my NixOS default font system-wide. But I prefer to keep the setting in my user space and let OS manage their default font (DejaVu in this case).All the best, Prot

Hello there!
What exactly is the issue you have encountered? These have worked fine for me on Debian and now on Arch (probably for more than 3 years). Maybe Nix does something differently? Or maybe some settings' daemon is misbehaving?
